This work explores the development, significance, and evolution of advertising throughout history, illustrating its transformations and the various forms it has taken, from ancient times to the author's contemporary period. The book is likely to engage readers interested in the social and economic implications of advertising practices. The opening of the text presents an overview of the book's intent and acknowledges the inherent challenges in documenting such a broad subject.
